The Growing Crisis Facing New York Children
Roblox has become enormously popular among New York children, from Manhattan’s bustling neighborhoods to Buffalo’s suburban communities, from Syracuse to Rochester, from Albany to Yonkers, from Long Island to the Adirondacks. However, this popularity has come with a dangerous cost – children across our state are being targeted by sexual predators who exploit Roblox’s inadequate safety systems to abuse and exploit minors.
New York families have reported disturbing incidents where their children were contacted by strangers, exposed to sexual content, or even lured into dangerous situations through Roblox’s platform. These incidents aren’t isolated – they represent a systematic failure by Roblox Corporation to protect the children who use their platform.
How Roblox Endangers New York Children
Despite serving millions of children, Roblox relies heavily on automated systems that consistently fail to detect predatory behavior and sexual content targeting New York youth.
Adults can easily create accounts and pose as children, gaining access to vulnerable New York minors without proper identity verification or parental oversight.
Roblox’s messaging systems allow predators to contact children directly, often without parental knowledge or supervision, putting New York children at serious risk.
When New York parents report concerning behavior or dangerous situations, Roblox often fails to take swift, effective action to protect children from ongoing threats.
Who Qualifies for a New York Roblox Lawsuit?
New York families may have valid legal claims if their child has experienced any of the following through Roblox:
Sexual Abuse and Exploitation
- Any form of sexual contact or abuse arranged through Roblox communications
- Production, distribution, or sharing of inappropriate images involving your child
- Sexual exploitation or trafficking facilitated through the gaming platform
- Real-world meetings arranged through Roblox that resulted in sexual abuse
Online Grooming and Predatory Contact

Frequently Asked Questions for New York Families
Warning signs include secretive online behavior, mood changes, sleep disturbances, academic decline, inappropriate sexual knowledge, or behavioral regression. Trust your parental instincts – if something seems wrong, investigate further while ensuring your child feels safe and supported. Look for changes in your child’s relationship with technology, unusual anxiety around device use, or new online “friendships” that seem concerning.
First and most importantly, ensure your child’s immediate safety and remove them from any ongoing dangerous situations. Do not delete any digital evidence – preserve all communications, screenshots, and account information. Contact local New York law enforcement and federal authorities to report the abuse. Seek professional mental health support for your child immediately, and contact experienced legal counsel to understand your rights and options.

Absolutely. We take extraordinary measures to protect family privacy and confidentiality, including seeking protective orders for sensitive information, pursuing confidential settlement agreements when possible, and limiting public disclosure of personal details. New York law also provides strong privacy protections for child abuse victims and their families throughout legal proceedings.
New York’s Child Victims Act recognizes that child sexual abuse survivors often need time to understand, process, and report their victimization. Our state has extended time limits for childhood sexual abuse cases, and the time limit often begins when the abuse is discovered rather than when it occurred. Even if significant time has passed, you may still have valid legal options that should be evaluated by experienced attorneys.
Case strength depends on various factors including the nature and extent of the abuse, available evidence, the connection to Roblox’s platform, and the impact on your child and family. Our legal team conducts thorough case evaluations to assess the strength of potential claims and provide honest assessments of your legal options. We only pursue cases where we believe we can achieve meaningful results for our clients.
